This was a great hike! It was a little confusing to begin with to know where to go. The trick is to follow the road up for a little bit and it turns into a dirt road. The Grandstaff Trail is meant for mountain bikes but still works for walking. The Cross Trail was more directly up and down. Still beautiful views of Glenwood Springs.
